Description

Switched to built-in on x86_64. kernel-2.6.38-0.rc5.git1.1.fc15 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-2.6.38-0.rc5.git1.1.fc15 kernel-2.6.38-0.rc5.git1.1.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. Chuck, I downloaded the 2.6.38-0.rc5.git7.1.fc15.x86_64 kernel from koji, the virtio_console module is present as a .ko and none of the virtio modules is mentioned in modules.builtin (the i386 kernel has virtio_console.ko, virtio.ko and virtio_ring.ko there). Did the patch slip somehow? Yeah, the whole virtio configuration in the kernel is just screwed up. VIRTIO and VIRTIO_RING are not user-selectable, they are supposed to be autoselected by anything that needs them. But VIRTIO_CONSOLE has a dependency on those instead of autoselecting them. And VIRTIO_PCI and VIRTIO_BALLOON autoselect them and are both modular, so VIRTIO gets set to modular and forces VIRTIO_CONSOLE to modular as well. On i386, LGUEST_GUEST is a bool and selects VIRTIO, VIRTIO_RING and VIRTIO_CONSOLE, so those are all forced to built-in. OK, this should really be fixed in 2.6.38-0.rc6.git6.1, which is building now. |
